In partnership with SAW Gallery and Pink Triangle Services (PTS), the Trans Arts Collective is presenting the Queer Youth Comics Project (QYCP). The QYCP is a French and English workshop series teaching LGBTTQ youth how to write and draw comics for self-expression in a supportive environment. This is an innovative initiative to establish more arts programming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirited and queer youth in the Ottawa/Outaouais region between the ages of 16 and 25 and their allies.
The last workshop will be a community panel discussion on queer youth open to the public. Discussions will be generated from the workshop participants’ comics. All members of the public are invented to attend to learn more about queer youth. We hope to continue the community dialogue on LGBTTQ youth with an exhibition at the Shenkman Arts Centre in January 2010.
Workshop Dates:
Tuesday, September 14, 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Tuesday, September 26, 6:00-9:00 p.m.

FREE SCHOOL / ÉCOLE LIBRE

A new initiative proposed by members of the Board of Trustees of Galerie SAW Gallery, Free School is a free workshop and lecture series geared toward professional visual and media artists working in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions. Providing an exceptional opportunity to delve into a curriculum that few learning institutions deliver, Free School features leaders in various fields related to the arts, who will speak to artists in practical terms on subjects ranging from crating and conservation to working with curators and running a studio. Informative and accessible to a wide range of artists from emerging to established, this series is meant to enrich your artistic career all the while providing a unique networking opportunity.

On Tuesday, February 23, Tree will host two writers at the Ottawa Arts Court. Local poet / writer and Archibald Lampman award-winner Stephen Brockwell will perform some of his work, followed by Stuart Ross reading from his first collection of stories in over a decade, Buying Cigarettes for the Dog. The evening will begin at 8 p.m., and preceding the reading from 6:45-7:45 Terry Ann Carter will host her first of a series of four workshops for emerging writers.

Stephen Brockwell currently lives in Ottawa but has spent a large part of his life in Montreal and other equally exhilarating places. His Fruitfly Geographic won the 2005 Archibald Lampman Award for best book of poetry by an Ottawa resident. He runs his own IT consulting business from home, and he is the author of several books including The Wire in Fences, The Cometology (ECW Press, 2001), and The Real Made Up (ECW Press, 2007). He has written reviews and articles for The Danforth Review, Rubicon and Books in Canada. Recent work of his has appeared in Arc, Prairie Fire, the Fiddlehead, the Antigonish Review, and Queen St Quarterly.

Stuart Ross published his first literary pamphlet on the photocopier in his dad's office one night in 1979. Through the 1980s, he stood on Toronto's Yonge Street wearing signs like "Writer Going To Hell: Buy My Books," selling over 7,000 poetry and fiction chapbooks. A tireless literary press activist, he is the co-founder of the Toronto Small Press Book Fair and now a founding member of the Meet the Presses collective, Poetry Editor at Mansfield Press, and Fiction & Poetry Editor at This Magazine. Stuart has edited several small literary magazines including Mondo Hunkamooga: A Journal of Small Press Stuff, Syd & Shirley, Who Torched Rancho Diablo? and Peter O'Toole: A Magazine of One-Line Poems. He is the author of two collaborative novels, a previous collection of stories, and six full-length poetry books. He has also published a collection of essays, Confessions of a Small Press Racketeer (Anvil Press), and edited the anthology Surreal Estate: 13 Canadian Poets Under the Influence (The Mercury Press). Stuart has taught writing workshops across Canada. He lives in Toronto. In spring 2009, Freehand Books released his first short-story collection in more than a decade, Buying Cigarettes for the Dog. In spring 2011, ECW Press will release his first novel, Snowball, Dragonfly, Jew.
